PLASTER BANDAGE.

rarer.

To all whom it mayeomcm:

Be it known that I, WILHELM JULIUS TEUFEL, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Stuttgart, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plaster Bandages or Materials, of which the following is a specification. Plaster bandages or materials in which the fabric containing the plaster substance is self-elastic or of a craps-like or openwork nature are well-known.

The present invention relates to an improvement in plaster materials with a selfelastic or expansible or stretchable body and consists in a fabric foundation in which'acraps-like or open-work fabric or surface is used in combination with a plain or smooth fabric or surface.

The invention may, for example, be carried out as shown in the drawing which represents a bandage consisting of longitudinal strips of a plain smooth fabric a which alternate With strips b of a drape-like or crinkled material. Such a bandage has over the usual bandages of which the material consists solely of crape-like fabric, the advantage that the bandage adheres firmly at Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 12, 1911. Application filed May 13, 1910. seriarno. 561,205.

. (Specimens) the smooth parts, whereas at the open portions, that is to say, the open spaces provided by the 'crape-like fabric, it admits the entrance of air, while the transverse passages or openings provided for by the crape-like material form'passages through which any discharge issuing from, say a wound, can pass away or be collected.

It will be obvious that the two kinds of material or surface can be relatively arranged in a variety of .ways, other than in parallel alternate strips of plain and crapelike material and the present invention is not restricted to'the latter arrangement.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is An adhesive plaster consisting of a porous fabric formed of alternating smooth and crinkled portions and a coating of adhesive composition covering substantially the entire face of said fabric.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
